Ancient - Mad Grandiose BloodfiendsSure, it's much cheesier than their back catalogue. I, however, find this to be the best of 'em all. Besides...I think the cheese is a good topping. (It's vampyric black metal. What do you expect?)

For My Pain - FallenHIM-wish. For those random bouts of romantic sentiment. I never hear anyone even mention this.

Immolation - Here In AfterIt's always "Dawn of Possession" this, and "Dawn of Possession" that. What about THIS monster?!?!?

Mayhem - Wolf's Lair AbyssIf they would've continued in this vein, it could've been ridiculously awesome. This EP seems to get minor attention compared to their last few full-lengths, which weren't as viciously consistent.

Cool list! But why do you think ''Burnt Offerings'' is their most overlooked? It gets a huge amount of praise, both in terms of music in general and in respect to their discography. I would go as far as to say it's their most praised tbh.

Well...it's because of all the metal circles I've run in, plus Mr. Schaffer's own feelings, state that it's a lesser release. All the metalheads I associate with seem to favor everything but that one (well, except for the s/t). I don't know why. Perhaps it a geographical difference? (Also - thanks for reading!)
